Riding schools
A while back, brands hatch used to advertise a "ducati experiance". Pay your money, turn up and ride their ducatis around the track. Now, I know they dont do this sort of thing anymore, but are there any places that do something similar?
I'd love to get on a track and ride around, but I dont want to take my bike on a trackday because 1) its underpowered, and i think it would be too dangerous, 2) I cant afford another set of tyres and 3) i dont want to crash my own bike What about ron haslams race school? Has anyone done that? Matt |

Re: Riding schools
Ron Haslam's is probably the place to go. Always seems to get good press.
I think K's been there, she'll probably be on in a bit. |

Have a look at this: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=86798 A load of us from here did it last year - many on first trackdays. It was good fun! EDIT: Plus it's only 90 pounds, which is way less than a race school. Last edited by lukemillar; 10-04-07 at 04:38 PM. |

Re: Riding schools
I seem to remember Cazza has done a course at Ron Haslam's - I went to Suzuki Race School at Mallory.
I really enjoyed it and yeah, being on one of their Gixxers rather than your own bike was a great confidence boost. I also forked the little bit extra for 1-2-1 tuition, which was worth it in my min. The time flew past though. Both Ron Haslam's and California Superbike School have always seemed to get good reviews... ... though considering the cost - I'd rather now save up for the week-long 'sectional course' at the Nurburgring. |

Re: Riding schools
Hmm...interesting, and I think you guys are right about the tyres - i'll be using the endges (well, i could be using the edges) which I'd never use on the road.
I suppose brands indy for a track day would be alright - at least I know where the track is going... Matt |
